Interesting that MLSE handed Nonis a five year extension after only a few months on the job…what is MLSE doing? Were they afraid Nonis was going to walk? I would have at least given him a full season before coming to a conclusion either way.

Well, we just signed a veritable time-bomb of a coach to a five-year deal without getting the slightest glimpse of how he's going to make out here...

The Leafs had a good run under Nonis last year and after his free agent signings this summer they look like they'll be better this season... it sucks but it's true. And God knows how much trouble some posters here have dealing with truths that suck.

Cowards die a thousand times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once.

So what was your point?

His point is that his math is about as sound as his ability to judge hockey players.

I am all for starting anew without the twins in 14-15 but the mouth breathers who keep advocating this have yet to come up with a couple of durable ppg performers who will play here for a combined cap hit of 21.2 million moving forward. In all likelyhood the twins would probably sign back here on short term deals of 5 million per.
